Just as Fade left, a thin figure carefully poked his head out from behind the Yuanyan Wood.
This figure was none other than Nine-fingered Devil.
Just now, the rest of the cultivators fled after seeing Fade's terrifying strength.
Nine-fingered Devil's first instinct was to flee as well. However, he was astute and immediately realized that he might be caught up. Therefore, he decided to go in the opposite direction and not towards the exit. Instead, he found a place to hide.
Now that everyone had left, it seemed that Fade had also forgotten about him and left.
This meant that his plan was a success.
Nine-fingered Devil could not help but let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness I'm still alive!"
At the same time, he was also a little curious.
"Who on earth is that guy? It seems like he's just a self learner, yet he's so powerful! Don't tell me he is some old demon who has been in hiding for 10,000 years!"
"Forget it, I shouldn't dwell on it. This time, I did not make a wasted trip. My harvest is not bad!"
Nine-fingered Devil touched his storage ring and smiled.
After entering the Xuanshuang Valley, although the biggest treasure was taken away by Fade, he still managed to reap some benefits in troubled waters. His gains were quite good.
"Now, it's time to leave!"
Nine-fingered Devil was preparing to leave.
But at this moment, a voice came from behind Nine-fingered Devil. "Old friend, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"Ah..." The expression on Nine-fingered Devil's face changed drastically when he heard the voice. He did not dare to turn around. He quickly ran straight for the exit.
However, Fade, who was behind him, was even quicker. With a whoosh, he appeared in front of Nine-fingered Devil.
Nine-fingered Devil looked at Fade, who had appeared in front of him. His face stiffened and his expression changed drastically. "You, how did you..."
Fade said with a smile, "I thought you referred to me as your friend? Have you forgotten all about me?"
Nine-fingered Devil immediately dropped to his knees and knelt in front of Fade. Then, he handed over his storage ring, kowtowed, and begged, "Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't have offended you."
"I'll hand over all my treasures to you. I only beg you to be merciful and spare my life."
Fade was a little surprised. He did not expect the famous Nine- fingered Devil to beg for mercy. For a moment, he did not know what to do.
Nine- fingered Devil also noticed Fade's hesitation and immediately continued to say, "Master, I am also a self learner. There is no hatred between me and you."
"Moreover, I've lived for so many years and gone to many places. I know a lot of secrets. I'm sure it'll be very helpful to you, Master."
"Besides, I think you're wise and powerful. You must need someone to run errands for you. I'm willing to serve you."
Fade narrowed his eyes slightly and his heart skipped a beat.
Nine-fingered Devil was very sly, but what he said made sense. Although Fade's current strength was not bad, he was a wanted criminal in the Taeyoon World.
He could definitely make use of him.
It was a good choice to subdue Nine-fingered Devil and make use of his service.
Thinking of this, Fade nodded slightly and said to Nine-fingered Devil, "I mean, I could spare your life."
"Many thanks..." Nine-fingered Devil hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
"Wait, I'm not done yet!" Fade said, "I have one condition. You have to serve me for 100
years!"
"100 years? Yes, I'm willing!" Nine-fingered Devil hesitated for a moment before agreeing immediately.
Fade then immediately took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to Nine-fingered Devil. "Here, I want you to take this!"
